The number seven became the lucky one for Atlas, because it is the number of games that the Foxes have without knowing the defeat, after they defeated Bravos de Juárez with the score of 2-0 at the Jalisco stadium.
This victory for the red and black team means golden gold for the Foxes, above all, because the border team is a direct rival in the coefficient table and with this defeat it fully enters the fight for non-payment of the large fine of 120 million pesos.
Jairo Torres made a superb strike after 38 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors’ defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner.
With the second goal in the same number of consecutive games for Torres, as well as for Renato Ibarra after the third minute of recovery, they became the architects of this red and black victory over a Braves team that is still in danger in this tournament.
Not long ago, Atlas also had a series of seven undefeated games. The last time was between the Clausura 2018 and Apertura 2018 tournaments.
With this result, rojinegros reach 15 points in the overall table, however, the most important thing is that they have already reduced the difference with Juárez in the report table, because they are already 12 units behind. Atlas has 93 points in 94 games, while Borders remains at 105 points in 93 games.
During the game, the first half was a red-black monologue with cascading arrivals, however, Milton Caraglio, Luciano Acosta, Jairo Torres and Ignacio Malcorra did not have the peace to define in front of goalkeeper Enrique Palos, who had a outstanding performance just before Torres’ goal fell.
For complement, Atlas left control of the ball in his hands from JuarensesHowever, “Flaco” Luis Fernando Tena’s team suffered from a serious lack of confidence, that even with the changes after the entry of Marco Fabián, William Mendieta and Eryc Castillo, could make an important difference in attack, adding the third consecutive defeat.
I am satisfied with the effort and commitment of the players, they showed good football passages, I grew up with the results and I played with these two things, the result and the football and we are convinced that we are growing.
